Not only the healing type, but other auxiliary type martial spirits also have limited room for growth and it is difficult to reach a high level.
Ning Fengzhi, the world's number one auxiliary teacher, has only reached level 79 in soul power.
Long Chen guessed that the Nine-Hearted Begonia, like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, had limitations on the quality of its martial soul and was difficult to break through.
When Ye Lingling's grandmother passed away, her soul power was level 72.
Ye Susu is 45 years old this year, with a soul power of level 65. Among the Nine-Hearted Begonia soul masters, her talent is considered relatively high.
Most Nine-Hearted Begonia Soul Masters will never be able to break through level 70 in their entire lives.
However, for Ye Susu, breaking through level 90 is still out of reach.
Long Chen was somewhat surprised to learn that the Nine-Heart Begonia could reach the higher realm of the Sacred Heart Begonia.
The Qiluo Tulip Magic Herb might really be able to change the fate of Ye Lingling's Nine-Hearted Begonia clan.
"Xiaochen, don't think too much. Lingling will get used to it slowly. You've been tired all day, so go back to your room and rest early."
"Yeah. Uncle, aunt, good night."
"Good night."
Looking at Long Chen's leaving back, Ye Susu sighed.
"Xiaochen has awakened a martial soul with evil attributes, and it is also full of innate soul power. What should we do if he can't control that power?"
"Yes, if Xiaochen didn't have innate full soul power, I would have advised him to give up cultivation. That way, he wouldn't have become a Fallen One. But he happens to be a genius. We can't interfere with his life. We can only do our best to guide him, protect him, and keep him on the right path."
"Brother Tianming, I trust Xiaochen. After taking care of Mom's funeral, you should take him to hunt soul beasts, right?"
"Um."
For Ye Tian and his wife, Long Chen and Ye Lingling are both their beloved children.
They also look forward to Long Chen's growth.
Ye Lingling's grandmother's funeral was quickly completed.
These days, under Long Chen's careful care, Ye Lingling's mood has eased a lot, but she is no longer as lively and cheerful as before.
That day, Ye Tianming and his wife called Long Chen and Ye Lingling to the study.
On the table in front of them were two exquisite wooden boxes.
Ye Tianming smiled and said:
"Xiaochen, Lingling, you are about to officially enter the ranks of soul masters. Mom and Dad have prepared a gift for you. Open it and take a look."
Long Chen and Ye Lingling looked at each other, then carefully opened the box in front of them.
The contents of the two boxes looked similar. There were two items in each, one was a dagger and the other was something similar to a belt.
Long Chen asked:
"Uncle Ye, is this a storage device?"
"Well, a storage device is a must-have for a soul master. You two should try it."
Long Chen and Ye Lingling smiled at each other, then tied the storage device around their waists to try it out.
"Very good, thank you uncle and aunt."
Long Chen's gaze fell on the dagger.
After picking it up and pulling it out carefully, a dazzling cold light flashed, which was heart-pounding.
"Xiaochen, this dagger is extremely sharp and can cut through metal. Be careful when using it to avoid cutting yourself."
"Okay, I see. Thank you, Auntie."
Long Chen put the dagger into the storage container.
Ye Tianming continued:
"Xiaochen, tomorrow I will take you to the Sunset Forest to hunt soul beasts and help you obtain your first soul ring. After we come back, I will send you to the academy."
"good."
Long Chen glanced at Ye Lingling beside him and said softly:
"Lingling, come with us to hunt soul beasts?"
"Um."
Ye Lingling nodded slightly without saying anything more.
Ye Tianming touched Ye Lingling's head.
"Okay, then I'll take you two with me."
The Sunset Forest is located two hundred miles east of Tiandou City. It is not very large, and most of the soul beasts in the forest have a cultivation base of less than ten thousand years.
Long Chen's first soul ring can be taken from a hundred-year-old soul beast.
Therefore, it is safe even if you bring two children who have just awakened their martial spirits.
The next day, Ye Tianming brought Long Chen and Ye Lingling to the Sunset Forest.
A rich and fresh natural scent hits you in the face.
The towering ancient trees stand tall, their trunks covered with moss and vines, looking ancient and weathered.
Occasionally, the sounds of birds and beasts can be heard in the forest, whether far or near, but all are full of wild vitality.
Sunlight shines through the gaps in the dense treetops, creating dappled light and shadows, adding a touch of tranquility and magic to the forest.
Beneath this tranquil appearance, there are countless soul beasts hidden, some hiding in the grass, some climbing on the treetops, quietly observing the outsiders entering the forest.
The three of them walked along a winding path, occasionally seeing some small soul beasts quickly running through it, leaving behind a trail of panicked footprints.
This was the first time that Long Chen and Ye Lingling came to the Soul Beast Forest, and they were very curious about everything around them.
Ye Tianming walked in front, observing his surroundings vigilantly.
His eyes were sharp, as if they could see through all disguises and capture the traces of soul beasts.
"Xiaochen, your first soul ring can be taken from a soul beast that has cultivated for a hundred years. Any soul beast that can emit sound waves will do."
"Well, Uncle Ye, it's up to you."
The three continued to move forward.
The sky gradually darkened.
Ye Tianming planned to find an open place to rest for a night and then continue looking for a suitable soul beast tomorrow.
Suddenly, a strange voice was heard.
The three of them stopped immediately.
If you listen carefully, the sound is like a baby crying.
Ye Lingling was a little curious.
"Dad, why is there a child crying in this forest?"
Ye Tianming shook his head.
"That's not a child, it's a cunning soul beast. It deliberately uses the sound of a baby crying to lure its prey into its trap."
"Uncle Ye, do you know what soul beast made this sound?"
"It's a sheep-like soul beast called the 'Human-Faced Demonic Sheep'. It's famous for its unique cry and cunning personality. It's not often seen in the Soul Beast Forest."
"Demon goat with a human face?"
Long Chen became even more curious.
Ye Tianming then explained:
"The demon goats get their name from the patterns on their heads that resemble human faces. They specialize in using baby-like cries to confuse their prey, and then suddenly attack when their prey gets close."
As Ye Tianming spoke, his mental power probed in the direction of the sound.
"That human-faced demonic sheep is nearby. It has been cultivating for over a hundred years and is perfect for being your first spirit ring. Let's go take a look."
"Um."
Long Chen and Ye Lingling followed behind Ye Tianming, their steps becoming more cautious.
Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out from the bushes.
Ye Tianming was quick-witted and quick-handed. He released the Golden Eagle Martial Spirit and pinned the black shadow to the ground in the blink of an eye.
It was the demon goat with a human face.
It indeed had the body of a sheep and a face similar to that of a human. It was dark all over, and its two sharp horns emitted a black aura, and its four claws were extremely sharp.
